If anyone is going to merge with (or buy) Apple, it's going to be Microsoft. The illusion those PC vs. Mac commercials try to perpetuate will soon die once people realise that what they're really saying is "We're so shitty, we had to make our computers exactly like PCs to survive!". Intel chips? Office for Mac? Better? No. Nearly as good? Yes. Go ahead and naysay and quote stats. You'll see.

The funny thing is Apple get those brand spanking new Intel chips before other manufacturers. I don't think you're one (out of smartness or interest) to know about PPC and how they stagnated, Apple were promised 3ghz PPC chips which never arrived. I suppose you think it's a smart move(tm) to stick with a chip manufacturer who clearly can't produce the goods anymore...

Office for Mac is what's needed. Apples own suite is nowhere near as established as an almost 2 decade old suite. Granted our studio swapped from Office 2008 to iWork since Office and bloatware now reside next to each other in the work environment dictionary.

What's great is that a Mac now runs OSX, XP and Vista (and all them Linux things). Every base covered. Stat me wrong!

Speaking of the Apple commercials...

I liked it how they promoted Apple's lock on hardware as a GOOD thing. Yeah, that's why Apples are so much more expensive than equivalent PCs, because Apple controls it all.

You're right, Hunt. Office is needed. Because Mac software is inferior, as you just admitted. Macs aren't getting better or more competitive, they're getting more PC (no, not politically correct). That was my point. Macs are essentially useless now. The very fact that they can use Linux or Windows OS's is an admission of inferiority.

As for the chip thing, you proved me right there too, by saying that what Apple had was inferior. So, thanks I guess, for backing me up.

And if you'll notice, I was that one who dared people to stat me first. A for effort though.

It's not as if Windows machines can't run Linux.... What exactly can't run Linux anyway?

Hey, you're just like beloved blogger/podcaster Justin McElroy, but when you open your mouth, crap comes spilling out, not tic tacs.

You want stats and quotes, BlaqueBeard? OK: I'm 100% positive you sound like a clown.

Get over yourself and realize not everyone wants to use the same OS as you. Just go on with your little life and let others do the same. Stop feeling threatened by some comical TV ads.

If you can't prove me wrong with fact, ill trooper, I don't think name calling is any more effective. Also, why would anyone want to use an OS that only comes on expensive, second-rate hardware that can't be upgraded or replaced?

If you're going to be a smart ass, at least be smart, ass.

Yeah, do ahead and drool on the features. I'll laugh when you all realise it'd probably have an uptime of under an hour.

The iPhone doesn't come with Home, GPS, universal RC, or PSP capabilities. Not to mention it doesn't run a Windows environment.

With half of those cumbersome buttons taken off, this would be cool.

The windows button needs to go, start and select need to be better positioned, maybe moved out closer and I prefer PSP's current interface, unless it was touch screen, but now I hate touch screens, I'm not fond of scratching my screen.

Other then that, nice second nub addition, nice slide screen, nice keyboard, just needs a mic and a built in camera and we are ready to go.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the real thing should it come out, not the fake one above.

I give the guy full marks for not pretending it's a real product--thank you!

Well a nice blending of the PSP and the Mylo would make everyone happy I think.

I get an e-boner every time I see a PSP mock-up with a second nub.

OK that just sounds wrong...

I'm the crazy fool that made that image. I'm also delighted by your comments. Thanks! :)

The image was actually a kick-starter to talk about the convergence of gadgets and the future of User-Interface. I put the iPhone UI on there as a joke, but I actually get quite serious in the discussion that follows the image.

If you're interested in the kind of discussion I've just described then I urge you to read my blog and continue its ideas. http://planetmat.blogspot.com/2008/05/introducing-iwish.html

Cheers,

Mat Brady
